The Barwon Valley Water Ski Club is situated on the Barwon Valley River in Geelong. The Barwon Valley Water Ski Club was established in 1984 to cater for the Water Skiing needs in Geelong and surrounding areas. The Club utilises certain sections of the Barwon River for their skiing activities. The boat ramp and meeting place is located under the East side of the Moorabool Street bridge. The Club has approximately 140 individual and family members and is growing in numbers each year.

A membership costs $150.00 per year. There is also a $35.00 CCMA Permit Fee to be paid. New boat members will also be required to pay a $20 deposit for the gate key.

The time of the year determines how you can then get your boat scruitineered: We have two Scrutineering days in October/ November each year.

During Ski season from October to May you can book via the Scrutineering Roster button on the home page to bring you boat down to the boat ramp at 11.00 am on a Sunday to get your boat scruitineered and permit signed off.

If it’s not on the roster- assume the normal rules of 5 boats and Breakwater end only.

To check if there is a River officer on duty for a particular day (or to sign up for shifts if you are a River Officer) use the River Officer Sign Up button on the home page.

In the off season, call the club on 0418 396 535 and we will organise someone to be available, if possible, to scruitineer your boat.

Happy Skiing!
